Hummel's Testimony Admitted-Panic
In Wall Street Losses by Floods.
Negro Rhodes Scholar Changes In
Barge Canal Route Burning of Sin
clair's Helicon Hall.
The New York Herald of Sunday
says that uccording to a member ot
John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s Bible class
and who is also a personal friend of
John O. Rockefeller and in a position
to know of his affairs, the latter pro
poses soon to make a princely gift to
the city of New York. It will amount
to at least $30,000,000. It will be part
ly charitable and partly educational.
The Herald adds: "This man In
formed a Herald reporter that when
Mr. Rockefeller was conferring with
his son at Lakewood, N. J., a fort
night ago, the meeting was not for the
purpose of discussing any Immediate
lilft, but was on the subject of Mr.
Rockefeller's .will, which document the
oil king was then completing with the
aid of his son and his lawyers. It Is
said that this document will astonish
the world when it is made public. It
will, it is declared, donate no less than
250,000,000 for charitable and educa
tional purposes, and it will be so be
stowed that the benefit therefrom will
be almost perpetual.
"The manner In which these be
quests will be bestowed Is said to be
mainly educational and charitable.
While there are some contributions
for religious purposes, It is stated that
Mr, Rockefeller does not think It nec
essary to extend any great financial
aid to churches. To his manner of
thinking, the churches are growing
stronger and stronger and there Is no
danger that they will ever need any
great financial assistance from one
man.
"As to the charitable bequests, It
was said some time ago that Mr. Rock
efeller had In mind building model
tenements for the poor, such as have
been erected in some European cities.
"In his will," The Herald's Inform
ant states, "Mr. Rockefeller has pro
vided these things bequests for re
ligious purposes, though not of large
sums; liberal bequests for education,
and what are described as princely
bequests for charitable purposes. It
Is said that there is scarcely a man,
woman or child that will not benefit
in some way by these prospective do
nations." Hummel's Story of Evelyn's Affidavit.
With Attorney Del mas fighting him
every inch of the way Mr. Jerome se
cured from Abraham Hummel his com
plete story as to the affidavit which It
Is alleged Evelyn Nesblt Thaw made
In the lawyer's office in 1903 charging
Harry K. Thaw with beating her when
she had tola him that the statement
that Stanford White had drugged and
ruined her was not true.
The Hummel testimony came during
the afternoon session of the trial, and
Mr. Delmas, first objecting broadly to
all of Hummel's testimony, offered a
specific objection to each question put
by the prosecutor. Justice Fitzgerald
overruled every objection and Mr. Del
mas had exceptions to the rulings
noted on the records.
Evelyu Nesblt Thaw herself was
called to the stand In the effort of the
defense to keep Hummel silent. She
declared she had called upon Hummel
in his professional capacity and to
seek his advice as a lawyer. Stanford
White had taken her to the lawyer's of
fice with that end In view.
Unsuccessful In blocking Hummel's
testimony. Attorney Delmas in cross
examining the witness brought from
his own Hps the fact that he had been
convicted in December, 1905, in the
very court room In which Thaw Is be
ing tried, on a charge of conspiracy.
He further admitted that two Indict
ments for subornation of perjury are
pending against him and that one ot
these Indictments charges him with
having caused a false affidavit to be
made.
Medical Experts Differed.
Answering the same hypothetical
question which the alienists of the de
fense answered by saying that Harry
Thaw was suffering from a mind so
unsound that he did not know the na
ture or quality of his act when he shot
and killed Stanford White, Dr. Austin
Flint, the first expert called to the
stand by District Attorney Jerome In
rebuttal", asserted It as his opinion as
a scientific man that Thaw positively
did know the nature and quality of his
uct and knew that the act was wrong.
Will Not Go to Washington.
Messrs. McCrea, Mellen, Hughltt
anj Newman, four railroad presidents
for whose visit to the White House
Morgan arranged before his departure
for Europe, held a conference at tho
Grand Central station In New York.
The whole situation was canvassed
with great care and it was finally de
cided not. to go to Washington.
It Is understood that the reason for
this conclusion was that the four gen
tlemen involved did not feel that they
had any proper mandate from the rail
road corporations to represent them.
They recognized that the railroad
managers of the United States are not
themselves In perfect accord, and that
until some method could be adopted
for securing a consensus of opinion a
visit to the president would be Idle.
At the conclusion of the conference the
various presidents left for their homes.
No Radical Attack on Railroads.
For two days the White House
and treasury department were flood
ed with appeals that President Roose
velt and Secretary Cortelyou take
some action to avert the "threatened
disaster" In the financial and railroad
world. It can be stated authoritative
ly, however, that President Roosevelt
will not change his attitude toward
the railroads, though it is admitted
that the administration has no Inten
tion of entering upon an extremely
radical attack on the railway corporations.
Will Not Affect General Business.
Jacob Schlff of New York declared
that he could not see any reason why
the Wall street panic should spread
to the general business conditions of
the country. Interviewed at Augusta,
Ga he said:
"I have strong hopes that much
good will result from the present
situation. The railroads and the
people will be brought nearer togeth
er. The welfare of one Is indlssolubly
connected with the success of the
other.
"President Roosevelt did not bring
about the muddle; he simply recog
nized earlier than most others whith
er we were drifting. By the wise
course he has taken he, has rendered
a great service to the people and to
the corporations themselves. The les
son will be valuable to the corporation
managers in the future."
First Negro Rhodes Scholar.
The Rhodes scholarship for the state
of Pennsylvania has this year been
awarded to a colored man. He Is
Alain LeRoy Locke, 712 South Twelfth
street, Philadelphia, a senior at Har
vard university.
In the will of the late Cecil Rhodes
It Is provided that color or religion
shall made no difference in the selec
tion of the candidate, and Locke was
chosen on his merits. There were five
who passed the examinations which
were held at Lafayette college on Jan.
17 and 18, and of these Locke was
deemed the best fitted to receive the
award.
Locke will be the first negro to get
one of the American Rhodes scholar
ships. ,
"I intend to devote myself to study
while In England," Locke said at his
home, "and on my return to this coun
try I will devote myself to the better
ing of the condition and general edu
cation of my race."
Loss by Flood In Pittsburg.
With the rapid receding of the wa
ters in Monongahela, Allegheny and
Ohio rivers, conditions are fast assum
ing normal proportions and the great
est and most destructive flood In the
history of Pittsburg Is at an end.
Ten square miles were Inundated.
The loss In actual dollars will probably
never be known but an estimate thus
far In Allegheny county may be sum
marized as follows: Loss in output of
steel mills, $3,000,000; loss In output
of other Industries, $2,000,000; loss in
wages of employes, $1,837,000; estimat
ed damage to industrial plants, $2,
500,000; total, $9,337,000.
Excitement was caused by several
fires. One which swept the Mt. Wash
ington district had to be dynamited on
account of a shortage of water in the
mains. The loss from both fires will
not exceed $225,000.
Burning of Sinclair's Utopia.
Coroner Lees of Englewood, N.
J., has requested Prosecutor Koes
ter to assist him In the investiga
tion and inquest which is to follow the
complete destruction by fire on Satur
day morning of Upton Sinclair's Heli
con Hall. The coroner has called a
Jury headed by Mayor McDonald
Mackay, and the proceedings will
probably begin on Thursday. The
death of Lester Biiggs caused the In
quest. Mrs. Grace McGowan Cooke and
Miss Alice McGowan, who were In
jured by leaping from the burning
building, are still in a serious condi
tion. The others who were burned
are doing well.
The members of the colony seem In
clined to continue the experiment In
a fireproof building.
Changes In Bargs Canal Route.
The plan to have the barge canal
pass through the city of Rome was
set aside and State Engineer Skene's
plan to construct the waterway south
of the city was adopted at a meet
ing of the canal board in Albany.
It is estimated that this change will
save the state $88,000 In the cost of
the work and probably $1,700,000 In
claims for damages. No action was
taken on the state engineer's plan to
Increase the depth of the locks from
12 to 14 feet. At the next meeting
delegations from Ithaca and Savannah
are expected to be present to discuss
proposed changes in the route ot the
barge canal at the latter place.
No Trace of Missing $176,000.
It having proved Impossible to ob
tain any trace of the $176,000 lost
from the Chicago sub-treasury, secret
service officers are now working on
the theory that an employe of the sub
treasury, subject, to mental aberra
tion, misplaced the money. This em
ploye has admitted he Is subject to at
tacks when his mind Is a blank. He
will be closely watched In the hope
that some clew to the money may be
found.
Smothered In Ruins of Snow Fort.
John Meara, the 10-year-old son ol
a policeman, was smothered to death
at New York city inthe ruins ol
a snow fort which he had helped other
boys to build. His brother Edward,
aged 13, was dug out only In time to
save his life. Against a high board
fence the boys had packed a square ol
damp hard Bnow eight feet high Into
which they were burrowing when th
roof collapsed.
MAY BE VERDICT FRIDAY.
Last Word of Evidence May Be
Uttered In Thaw Trial Today.
Mr. Deimat Introduced Record In
Trial and Conviction of Hummel on
Charge of Conspiracy Defense In
troduced More Alienists Who Swore
That Thaw Was Irresponsible.
New York, March 19. When the
Thaw trial was adjourned but four ex
pert witnesses were to be examined
before taking of evidence closes.
Three "experts were disposed of In a
little more than an hour, so It is gen
erally believed that the last word of
evidence may be uttered In the fa
mous case today.
In that event the summing up by
Mr. Delmas for the defense will be
gin Wednesday morning. District At
torney Jerome will reply on Thursday.
Justice Fitzgerald may proceed Imme
diately with his charge to the jury or
he may defer it until Friday. Unless
the unexpected happens there should
be a verdict by Friday night.
The case for the people was closed
by the Introduction of the much dis
cussed Hummel affidavit which, with
the consent of the defense, was read
In full to the jury. The affidavit
proved a surprise only as to the se
verity of the alleged assaults by
Harry K. Thaw upon Evelyn Nesblt
during their trip through Europe In
1903, when, according to the testi
mony of Abraham Hummel, Miss Nes
bit would not sign statements which
Thaw had prepared accusing Stanford
White of having drugged and ruined
her.
In this affidavit Miss Nesbit charges
Thaw with having attacked her with
a cowhide whip while they were stop
ping at an old castle in the Austrian
Tyrol and lashing her bare skin until
she became faint from the pain and
swooned.
He repeated the attack next day,
according to the affidavit, and after
ward in Paris he beat her at half
hour Intervals throughout one entire
day, leaving off only when she would
faint away and could no longer under
stand what was happening.
Miss Nesbit is alleged to have
sworn in the affidavit that she was In
dally fear for her life and that Thaw
acted like a demented person during
some of the assaults.
Contradiction of Hummel'a Testimony.
The affidavit was in some wayB a
direct contradiction of Hummel's re
cent testimony upon the stand. In or
der that the defense might not pre
vent him from relating how the affi
davit was made, he stated positively
that he was not acting as Miss Nes
blt's attorney when he drew up the
document; that he was acting solely
In the interest of Stanford White and
that no legal action was contemplated
in behalf of the young woman who Is
now Harry Thaw's wife.
There was considerable surprise,
therefore, when Mr. Jerome read the
opening words of the affidavit, which
are:
"Supreme Court. County of New
York: Evelyn Nesbit, plaintiff, against
Harry Kendall Thaw, defendant." It
Is said the action contemplated when
the affidavit was made was the recov
ery of certain property which It was
alleged Thaw had wrongfully taken
from the girl. In dictating the affi
davit Hummel referred to himself as
Miss Nesblt's attorney, she being re
ported to have said:
"I have received certain letters and
cablegrams from Thaw which I have
turned over to my attorney, Mr. Abra
ham H. Hummel."
The affidavit Is nlso indorsed "Howe
& Hummel, attorneys for plaintiff."
When Mr. Delmas began the Intro
duction of testimony In sur-rebuttal he
introduced first of all the record In the
trial and conviction of Hummel on the
charge of conspiracy. He started to
read the entire record, but had not
reached the remarks Mr. Jerome made
when Hummel was sentenced, whior
Mr. Delmas wanted to present to the
Jury, when Mr. Jerome said he would
admit tho entire record without ob
jection. Mr. Delmas then suid he
would save the district attorney's ref
erences to Hummel for the summing
up by the defense.
Police Said Thaw Was Irrational.
Next Mr. Delmas put upon the stand
three policemen who saw Thaw the
night of the tragedy or esr'v on the
morning after, and they all declared
that he either looked or acted Irra
tionally. To two of them he com
plained of hearing young girls'
voices. The witnesses admitted on
cross-examination that there were
seven women of the street In the sta
tion house the night Thaw was there
and that they were making consider
able noise, but the officers said these
women could not bo heard from
Thaw's cell.
After this testimony had been pre
sented Mr. Delmas passed to tho
final stages of the trial by introduc
ing the first of seven alienists em
ployed by the defense, three of the ex
perts being new to the case. Dr.
Graeme M. Hammond and Dr. Smith
Ely Jelllffe, who have been In the
case from the first, and Dr. W. A.
White, superintendent of the govern
ment hospital for the Insane at Wash
ington, D. C, were the witnesses and
all were interrogated on the 15,000
word hypothetical question framed by
District Attorney Jerome.
Rasing their answers on this ques
tion, all three of the experts declared
Thaw was so mentally unbalanced at
tho time he killed Stanford White
that be did not know the nature or
quality of his act and did not know
that the act was wrong. None of the
three would classify the form of in
sanity from which they said the de
fendant was .suffering.
On cross-examination Mr. Jerome
drew from Dr. Hammond some new
facts concerning brainstorms. The ex
pert when asked for Bynonyms on
brainstorms, -Replied:
"Maniacal ' furor and psycho-klne-sla
are synonyms."
Today the experts will be Drs.
Evans and Wagner, who have hereto
fore testified for the defense, and who
will now be asked to give an opinion
on Mr. Jerome's ' ng question, and
Dr. Charles V. Pilgrim of Pough
keepsle. N. Y., president of the New
York state lunacy commission, and Dr.
Mlnas Gregory, superintendent of the
Psychopathic Pavilion at Bellevue
hospital, this city.
INSTRUCTION TO GRAND JURY
Which Is Investigating the Brewster
Wreck on the New York Central.
New York, March 19. The grand
jury which has been investigating the
wreck of the Brewster express on the
Harlem division of the New York
Central railroad last month, In which
21 persons lost their lives, were spec
ially charged by Judge Rosalsky to
hand down Indictments, If the evi
dence warrants them in doing so, not
only against the corporation as such
hut also against the railroad officials,
"be they high or low."
In very specific detail Judge Rosal
sky explained the second degree of
manslaughter. He told the jurymen
that It was not only well settled in
this state but that It is a fact that as
a common carrier a railroad company
Is bound to exercise such care as any
prudent man would In the conduct of
his own business.
He called upon the members of the
grand jury to Indict officials, no mat
ter what their station, should the evi
dence so warrant.
"The interests of the people demand
that you make a thorough and vigor
ous investigation," said Judge Rosal
sky, "to the end that those guilty of
any offense against the laws may be
brought to justice."
Safe Blowers Held Up Village.
Troy, N. Y., March 19. Three safe
olowers held up the village of Eagle
Mills, about five miles outside of this
city, early yesterday morning and
terrorized the community. Two of
the number stood guard outside the
general store and postoffice while the
third used dynamite to blow open the
safe and ransack the place In general.
When Postmaster Mullln, who heard
the explosion, reached the store he
was driven off at the point of a pistol.
Other residents who gathered were
kept at a safe distance by bullets.
For all their daring effort and hard
work the burglars received nothing.
Tliey escaped, presumably taking a
trolley later to Albany.
Public Land Stealers Sentenced.
Omaha, March 19. The most Im
portant land case In Nebraska ended
In the sentence of four prominent and
intluential cattlemen by Judge W. H.
Munger of the United States court.
Hartlett Richards and William G.
Comstock were sentenced to pay a
fine each of $1,500 and to serve a year
in jail; Charles G. Jameson and Aquil
la Triplett were each fined $500 nnd
eight months in jail. These men were
indicted for conspiracy to defraud the
United States out of upward of 200,000
acres of land in Northwestern Ne
braska. All the defendants made
motions for nppeuls, which will be ar
gued later.
Held For Bringing In Stolen Goods.
New York, March 19. Arthur P.
Green and Charles D Rohrer, who
were arrested upon the arrival of tho
steamer Anierika Sunday on a charge
of attempted smuggling, were held In
$100,000 ball each 011 a charge of
bringing stolen goods Into the coun
try. The smuggling charge was
dropped. The' complaint upon which
they were held was based upon a ca
blegram received from the Scotland
Yard officials several days ago asking
their arrest, and claiming they had
stolen gems valued at $35,000 from
London stores.
Commission Reduces Railway Fares.
Ottawa, Ont., March 19. The rail
way commission has ordered the Can
adian Pacific and the Grand Trunk
railroads to reduce passenger rates
to three cents a mile. The regulation
goes Into effect In fiO days and affects
all lines east of and including Edmon
ton. Other roads are to bo Immediate

to the decision or to inform the board
why they cannot do so.
Gray's Confession a Fake,
San Antonio, Tex., March 19. D.

has never been in the army."
Theater and Newspaper Office Burned.
Pen 11 Van, N. Y., March 19. Fire

Caterpillar Fever.
The nymptoms of the ailment known
to doctors as "caterpillar rnsh" are In
tense Irritation on the palms, and some
times ou the face, accompanied by a
number of bllsterllke swellings which,
when they occur roumj the eyes, some
times have the effect of obstructing
vision. The preventive Is to leave
hairy caterpillars alone. As tho
"palmer worm," the hairy caterpillar
of the gold tall moth, one of the com
monest and most beautiful objects of
the country at midsummer, passes
from hand to baud, it leaves on every
palm n few of Its loosely attached
Kairs, and those hairs are possessed,
for the protection of the caterpillar
against birds aud browsing animals,
of what scientists call "urtleatlng prop
erties." "Urtiea" Is the I.ntln for "net
tle." Many other hairy caterpillars are
almost as bad as the "palmer worm,"
and ns a general rule the less you han
dle any hairy caterpillar the better.

The Ilrneflt of Exereiae.
Exercise docs for the body what the
mountain Bide does for the stream of
water. When the wnter runs down the
mountain Hide It is a babbling brook,
leaping out Into the air now aud then,
throwing itself Into spray, exposing lt
sclf to the air and sunshine and the
waters are crystal pure. In the valley
or on a level plain the waters may form
stagnant pools nnd get covered over
with slime of all sorts and Inhabited
by all kinds of filthy creeping things.
Some people let themselves get Into the
condition of that stagnant pool nnd
then wonder why the frogs croak In
their bruins and why the birds do not
sing Instead. When a person gets Into
the condition where the body Is like a
stagnant pool a radical change must le
made In his life. He must begin by
getting vitalized, new blood Into all his
cells and tissues. Good Health.

life that was harsh mid cruel and ut
